About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats while coworkers, friends, and family are on vacation. I handle feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and medication if needed. I understand how important routines are for pets, so I make sure to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading animal behavior, whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet that needs extra care. I send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! Whether I’m boarding, doing drop-ins, or taking your dog on a walk, I follow all instructions closely and stick to their routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m always attentive to doors, gates, and windows are secure to prevent any accidents or escapes.
“Jovanni sent me pics of my babies every time she visited them. She told me about the “talks” she had with each and how the walks went. I was very at ease being away knowing they were being loved on and cared for as if they were her own. ❤️”

“I am so thankful for her! My babies were well fed and cared for while I was on vacation. And they had nice clean litter boxes. Loved my daily updates of who greeted her at the door and the funny pictures! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you SO MUCH. I'm planning a longer trip for May so I will be trying to book you then as well!!!”

About: We have 5 animals in the house, we’ve had them since they were puppies and all get along and friendly towards other people and animals. I work from home and take the pups out 5 times a day. Can take them out more if a pup has a weaker bladder. I usually take mine out at the same time but have enough time in the day to take your pup out individually. Everyone really lounges at home while I work or go out but my boy loves to play so we have best of both worlds and doggie beds all over the house if they’re tired or can play in the back yard.
“Alexis was amazing with our cats! We were nervous leaving them at home for a week, but quickly felt comfortable with Alexis taking care of them. She sent a ton of pictures and the cats seemed to love her! Will definitely come back to her in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last year and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.
About: I’m a calm, intuitive pet sitter with experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities. As a cat mom of four, I’m great at reading body language, managing routines, and making even shy or anxious pets feel safe. I never force interactions—I let each pet warm up at their own pace. I’m detail-oriented with feeding, litter care, grooming needs, and overall home cleanliness. I match each pet’s energy, communicate clearly with photo updates, and treat every home with the same respect and care I expect for my own. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m home consistently, which allows me to keep steady routines for feeding, playtime, and attention without rushing. I can check in on pets frequently, give them plenty of interaction, and maintain a calm, predictable environment throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, predictable, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, grooming, and quiet time—so they feel safe and secure. I pay close attention to their body language, give them space when they need it, and offer affection when they’re ready. I keep living areas clean, fresh, and organized, and I provide regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Savannah is heaven sent! This was my first time leaving Dino under the care of a new friend. We had an amazing experience. Savannah is detail oriented, responsible, caring and genuinely has a huge heart for pets. I am grateful Dino was under excellent care!”

About: With a deep passion I have dedicated myself to caring for dogs in various capacities. My experience includes volunteering at local shelters where I provided companionship, exercise, and basic care to dogs in need. I have also honed my skills in managing diverse breeds by taking them on dog dates, ensuring they receive the socialization and mental stimulation they require. Additionally, I have fostered dogs through the app rover program, providing a loving temporary home until they find their forever families. My commitment to their well-being extends beyond basic needs, focusing on creating a nurturing environment that promotes their physical and emotional health. I am currently studying to take my state board exams as an esthetician. I’m just trying to have some money to afford my state board exams. I have a dog name snowball, i’ve had him since I was 7. I have been raised with dogs my whole life. They make me happy and truly grateful. How I care for others & my own dog is with love, care and respect. I will always respect their home and the clients home, by never leaving it a mess if one is made.
About: With 12 years of professional experience in the animal care industry, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages — from delicate newborns to seniors needing extra love and attention. My background has given me a deep understanding of each stage of a dog’s life and how to provide care that’s both compassionate and attentive. After recently losing our two beloved dogs, my husband and I feel a big, quiet space in our home and hearts. I miss the joy and connection that only dogs can bring, and I’d love to open that space to care for yours. I treat every dog like family, because that’s what they deserve. As a teacher, my summer schedule is wide open — giving me the flexibility and time to fully focus on your pup's needs, whether that’s belly rubs, slow walks, or playtime. Outside of summer I am off most days by 3 giving plenty of time for a long afternoon walk. I have a small fenced in yard for late night or early morning emergencies but also live in a neighborhood with great walking space. My home is open to your pet but they must be potty trained!
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs since I was a little kid. I would house sit for my next door neighbor and his two boxers, then when they had puppies I also helped take care of them before and after school. Then, I decided to get my own dog (Juco) he is now four years old, my ride or die, and the friendliest dog I have even met! But I love all animals and treat them all like my own! The summer months are a low period in my work schedule. But my daily routine usually consists of me taking my dog for a long walk in the morning, hitting the gym, then going to the office a few hours. After work I come home walk my dog again and spend time with him at the dog park! I can stay at your property while pet sitting or bring your dog to play with my friendly dog at my townhouse. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and has multiple parks within walking distance!
“Donovan was great with our pets! We have a dog and three cats at home and he took care of all of them for the weekend. Our dog Odin was especially happy to see him each visit. Thank you Donovan!”

Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!

Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.

Lourdes was a phenomenal caretaker and went above and beyond for our Laika. She’s meticulous on instructions, communicates well, provides several photos everyday and takes her time to walk Laika. I strongly recommend her! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be using her services again.
